In a moment loaded with political symbolism, estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray will share a public stage for the first time in two decades on Saturday at the Marathi Vijay Diwas event in Worli. Despite the scale of the event, Mumbai Traffic Police confirmed there will be no special diversions, with 
adequate parking and crowd control measures planned to avoid disruption to weekend commuters.

While the event marks a cultural milestone following the state government’s rollback of two controversial language policy resolutions, it’s the reunion of the two powerful Thackerays that’s generating maximum buzz.
